French fries are a popular side dish of potatoes that have been cut into thin strips and deep-fried until crisp. They are usually served hot and salted, and are a staple of fast food restaurants and home cooking.

French fries originated in the late 18th century in Belgium, where they were served with fried fish. They quickly became popular in France, where they were called “pommes frites,” meaning “fried potatoes.” The name was later anglicized to “French fries.”
